Patriots @ Chargers Game Day Thread / Post Game Discussion (Wk 8)

[Formula 21]

Thanks for this. It seemed like I saw Harris playing poorly; i.e running after receivers and not in the right spots. No surprise the right side of the OL stunk. The biggest surprise though is Bosa. What happened there? Are the double teams getting to him?

Also you have to love seeing Rashawn continuing to play like this. Consistency is key, and boy has he proven that in spades.

Fans say they don't want to spend No 1 picks on WRs. But look what happens when they play poorly. WR play lost that game for us.

To be fair the guy we spend No 1 pick on was a ghost as well. Maybe he was in the Halloween spirit.

This is my point. The analytics all should be huge cause for concern here, especially coming after a bye. A "franchise" QB or "superstar" QB doesn't have those types of games. They have a less quality start, but not bottom of the league play. I think the lack of adjustment is the alarming part.

The next step is he will start to really mentally press, followed by physical pressing. He might already be showing both in the last game.

Yes they do. We intercepted Peyton Manning 6 times in a game once and he was well beyond his second year in the league. EVERY player has a bad game no matter if they are a star or not. They are human beings afterall.

What I can't understand is where did our star WR's go? In the early games, they often got open, even wide open at times. In the last two games, they've been well covered. They simply aren't getting open. .what's up with that?

This is my first post this week. Losing to a Patriot team that had two CB's out and a rookie QB (who was inaccurate) made me sick. I still can't get over it.

Felt the same Roo. Literally made me sick. Our WR's have disappeared.

See, this is my question too. A couple of weeks ago they were the best WR duo in football. Now I'm reading they are the worst at creating separation. Something doesn't jive. Keenan was wide freakin' open on his 30 yd catch early in the 1st Q.

Could be just that Balt and NE traditionally have good DB play
but yes it's kinda embarrassing
Our only really deep strength was WR at the start of the season and now it's far from it.
We need more weapons in general
McKitty please up

Roo and others this clip of Slater on JJ’s run may make you feel better.

Dang Slater blocked 5+ guys while carrying his. Amazing!

Herbert has the same issues as last year: post snap reads. He's performing better from a clean pocket but worse under pressure, which is exactly what groups like PFF predicted in a sophmore slump. On aggregate he is very similar to last year, we're just dealing with recency bias after 2 bad games.

He's still young, he has all the tools, he isn't stupid, and he can learn. However, he and Norton are the #2 and #1 issues on the offense the last 2 weeks.

However, people coming on here questioning his value as a HUMAN or his ability to fucking read are fucking disgusting. Same with people doing so for the coaching staff or front office. Just because you are a fan does not entitle you to verbal abuse. It's like a spouse saying "I pay the bills so it's okay that I abuse you."

I've reached the point where I have all but like 7 people blocked. I logged out and re read some of the people I have blocked. Still disgusting.

So I'm saying bye to the board until draft time. My time is too valuable to waste dealing with this toxicity.

I knew someone would bring that game up. Go look at Manning's analytics from that game. They weren't bottom of the barrel in the league. Interceptions aren't dispositive.

Ha, i guarantee if Herbert and especially Rivers threw 6 INTs and we lost, this place would go balistic and call for a trade, to cut them, ......anything they can think of. It dont matter if Peytons stats, Analynics or whatever werent bottom barrel or not. If you throw 6 INTs, you arent going to win a game and yes those INTs were a direct reason that they lost.

Sad to you see you go. It's the board's loss.
